Grapefruit Seed Extract – Antioxidant Extract for Cellular Health

Grapefruit Extract is a standardized grapefruit extract of naringin, the main active principle of the fruit. The fruit is high in fibre, hence its low calorie content – and the resulting popularity, like grapefruit, with those on a weight loss diet, now available to buy as a supplement from Supersmart.

What are the ingredients in grapefruit extract?

This supplement enjoys an excellent reputation due to the nutritional composition of pomelo. Although often confused, pomelo and grapefruit are actually two distinct species, with grapefruit being the more common of the two in the West. This food supplement is formulated from pomelo, also called Citrus paradisi. Obtained by extraction from the whole fruit – the pulp, seeds and skin of the pomelo – the extract is then transformed into a food supplement. In accordance with current legislation, “Grapefruit extract” is completely free of synthetic compounds such as benzethonium or paraben.

In addition, this extract contains bioflavonoids, antioxidant compounds known for the essential role they play in protecting the body. And finally, its most important active ingredient is naringin, a flavonoid glycoside, which gives pomelo and grapefruit their distinctive bitter taste. Concentrated in the bone marrow, naringin is now used in many products such as tonic drinks.

What are the benefits associated with grapefruit extract?

While grapefruit extract is often recommended as part of a weight loss program, its pharmaceutical potential has also been widely studied by the scientific community:

• Researchers have identified it as a powerful antioxidant due to its flavonoid content. Grapefruit extract can therefore prevent cell aging by reducing cell damage induced by oxidative stress.
• Antioxidant flavonoids may also provide benefits in preventing certain forms of cancer and cardiovascular problems.
• Scientists have also studied pomelo extract to better understand why some consider it a natural anti-viral and anti-inflammatory.
• Although the benefits of grapefruit extract have not yet been fully established, results currently suggest that it has analgesic, antiviral, anti-ulcer, neuroprotective, and lipid-lowering effects.
